I don't think this was a TED Talk. It was a "TED Style" talk at the conference. I get the impression that a video of his talk will not be released to the general public. I'm guessing they invite "geniuses" to speak, whereas Brian uses talent agency to get him featured?

That script was a complete joke. I'm sure when an audience like that watches someone give a presentation about taking 4 first class international flights on an A380 for $100 they think they are most likely thinking this person is either lying or trying to sell them something.

Hilarious, seriously, what an AMAZING speech. ROTFL
And all that BS about having COMPLETE control over "his" content.
A Bankrate employee pushing credit cards. 100% control, sure.
Is anyone really buying this cr@p?
